My Nonprofit Reviews

Where do I start to tell the story of this amazing Charity Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. This charity is focused on saving African elephants and other wildlife animals in Kenya. But, it is also building and preserving the habitat, protection with rangers and an anti-poaching team. It works in the communities by educating the next generation of children to understand the importance of elephants and all other animals in their vicinity. The SWT are creating , through water for wildlife, watering holes so that elephants can access water throughout the year now and into the future. They are assisting the local communities with strategies like Bee fencelines, which naturally deter elephants from crop raiding. This not only protects crops but also adds another form of income for farmers. They employ local men to their 4 units as carers for the orphaned elephants, but also employ women in their capacity as gardeners to grow plants and trees to replenish forests and other environmental areas, such as mangroves, etc. They hold movie nights and show films to explain what they are doing and regularly bring school classes to the Nursery for children to view morning milk feeds for the orphans.
All in all I believe they are doing everything possible to save the African elephants. I love them and the work they are doing.

A fantastic Sanctuary to visit. From the moment you step on to the property there is an amazing sense of peace and tranquility. The entire property is constantly cleaned and tidied, ensuring the safety of the cats and visitors alike. The Keeper I took my tour with was amazing. The amount of knowledge this lovely lady imparted was amazing, it included information on the individual cats and the reason specific programs are in place. I would encourage everyone to visit and support this amazing nonprofit, it is saving big cats one at a time.
